How to Sort International Strings?

[Anon]

Hello,

Please help me.
I want to sort Strings in alphabetic order of my national alphabet. I'm sending letter order in my national alphabet (Windows-1250):

A
B
C
/U010C
/UO106
D
/U0110
E
...

MySQL can't sort me data in this order (or I don't know how - I'w tried to changed MySQL default character coding). I need to use PHP.
How to sort correctly these Strings?

Thanks
